Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

economic-calendar-fetcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/get_economic_calendar.py, scripts/tests/test_get_economic_calendar.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Economic Calendar Fetcher

Overview

Retrieve upcoming economic events and data releases from the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) Economic Calendar API. This skill fetches scheduled economic indicators including central bank monetary policy decisions, employment reports, inflation data (CPI/PPI), GDP releases, retail sales, manufacturing data, and other market-moving events that impact financial markets.

The skill uses a Python script to query the FMP API and returns raw JSON or text output. The assistant then filters events, assesses market impact, and generates a chronological Markdown report for each scheduled event. No files are generated automatically.

Key Capabilities:

  • Fetch economic events for specified date ranges (max 90 days)
  • Support flexible API key provision (environment variable or CLI argument)
  • Filter by impact level, country, or event type (filtering performed by the assistant)
  • Present filtered results as structured Markdown reports with impact analysis (assistant-generated, not script-generated)
  • Default to next 7 days for quick market outlook

Data Source:

  • FMP Economic Calendar API: https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/economic_calendar
  • Covers major economies: US, EU, UK, Japan, China, Canada, Australia
  • Event types: Central bank decisions, employment, inflation, GDP, trade, housing, surveys

When to Use This Skill

  2. Market Event Planning:

    • "When is the next jobs report / CPI release / GDP report?"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
